Atfa& In W J . r . m i w w m m m The "Merger" At Four Corners. .No one knew just when or how the " hostilities between the "North Siders" . and the "South Siders" had begun. But through long years it had been . accepted as a fact that there should be no social or business communi- ' cations between the people who lived ' on "the south side of the main street of Four Corners and those who lived , on the north side of the aforesaid " street. Incidentally it might be remarked that Four Corners boasted of but one street, which ran east and west, which ' ' was due to the fact that it was im possible to run anything other than a t bridle path north and south because of the steep hills. The feud smoldered as a rule, each side remaining unto itself, but every four years it burst into flame because of the postoffice. So intense was the feeling of hostility that a South Sider - would, as a rule, refuse to subscribe for I a paper or correspond with friends ; when a North Sider held the postoffice, because that would necessitate cross- ing the street and doing business with an enemy. It was the same thing when a South. Sider held the office. 'Naturally this resulted in a ratner meager postoffice business. When Postmaster Jed Bilkins' term ' was about to expire the regular quad liennial fight blazed up. Jed took no hand in it. save to lend his aid ana as sistance to Lem Hugglns, the son of Squire Huggins, and Lem was asking for the office on the ground that he had been a volunteer in the Spanish- - American war and had come home with a limp, due to a Mauser ball that caught him in the hip while he was scampering up a hill near Santiago and saying unprintable things about the Spaniards. 1 "It stands t' reason," Baid Post master Bilkins, speaking oracularly, "that Lem air entitled t' th' honah. He has fit undah th' flag, is able t" read an' write, an' is a No'th Sidah. Th last qualification, I may say, is th" chiefest." "I hear Sack Rickett's daughter, SSally, is goin' t' try t' get the office," remarked Putnam Shattuck, called . "Put" for short. "Yep; heard that when I druv ovah t' . Blossville with Majah Slocumb t'other day. Th' majah said he heard about it at Blossville while he was a-waitin' f'r his mail." "Well, if a South Sidah is t git it I. guess Sally Ricketts is all right," said Pete Hensel. "I've seen her acrost th' street several times an she's a powahful likely lookin' gyrl." "Look a hyar, Pete," angrily ex claimed Put; "I ain't ust t' hearin no No!th Sidahs braggin' about South Sidahs, an I'm hyah t' say that I ain't goin t' stand f'r it." , . ;iWall," drawled Pete, "I guess I'm ipurtv able f'r t' say what I please an' make it stick." "If you mean that f'r me, Pete, guess we'd better adjourn behind th' black smith shop an' settle it f'r fair." But nothing came of the threatening incident. For more years than Pete and Put cared to recall they had been threatening to fight and settle the dispute as to which was the better ' man, but so far they had not come to ' tlows. This fact was deeply regretted, for the reason that a considerable quantity of dog-leg tobacco and moun tain dew had been wagered on the re sult when they did come together. "ti '"As the days wore on Lem Hugglns was busy. He secured the signatures of all the North Siders on his petition, , and then rode far and wide to the I north to secure the signatures of those ; who sympathized with his side of the . street. - "It'll be mighty funny if I can't beat a gyrl f'r th' place,' said Lem to a friend whom he met up in the hills. But Sally Rickett was also busy. Sally had been down to Sharpsburg to school, and her horizon of informa tion was much larger than the average of her friends on the South Side. She wasted hut little time in securing sig natures to her petition. Being wise fh lier day and generation Sally made use of her knowledge of politics and beseiged the congressman from ner district. She knew that often a pair of bright eyes and a rosebud mouth car ried more weight than a huge and un gainly petition. The fight waxed warmer and warmer as the summer grew, and as September ' drew near- the time set for Postmaster Bilkins to step down and out physi- ' cal encounters grew frequent. Squire ' Wheeler's son met Judge Pollock's son down on the creek, where both were fishing, and as they lived on opposite sides of the street fishing was sadly neglected for a time and a fight en . gaged in that resulted in sending the participants home in sadly deranged , conditions. This led to a heated argu ment across the street between tne squire and the judge, and another phy sical encounter might have resulted had. not both squire and judge been too proud to step across the dividing line. When Put Shattuck remarked that "One was afeerd an' t'other dassn't," the judge withdrew Into his judicial dignity and ignored the remark. By strange and perverse fate Lem and Sally had decided upon the same date for their final appeal to Con gressman Selkins. Thus it was that they met on the depot platform at Blossville, where they boarded the train for the distant city of HawKS vllle. Having never been formally in troduced, and being staunch partisans as well as rivals for a postoffice ap pointment, they did not greet one an other. Lem took a seat in the forward part of the coach and Sally snuggled up in a seat near the rear. Something hurt inside of Lem's breast. He knew what it was, but dared not admit it. As. he sat by the window and watched the landscape slipping past he recalled how often he had allowed his eyes to follow Sally's trim figure as she tripped down the other side of the street; also, how often he had wished silently, of course that Sally had been born and bred on his side of the thoroughfare. He managed to withstand the tempta tion to look back at her, but it re quired the exercise of all his will power. With Sally the situation was not vastly different. She had announced her candidacy before Lem had entered the race, and when she thought of his limp and remembered the first time sne saw him in his brown uniform, when he was limping upon crutches down the other side of the street, her heart failed her. She would have with drawn had she not been impelled by pride and patriotism to remain. She kept her eyelids demurely down, but not so far that she could not catch oc casional glimpses of a mass of dark brown hair and the curve of a sturdy neck set upon square shoulders. "Guess he don't deserve my sym pathy," whispered Sally to herself. "He might make way for a lady." But even this did not quite satisfy her mind. "Guess I'll stop thinking about It and read," said Sally to herself, and suiting the action to the words took a novel from her handbag and settled back against the cushions. She read for a time and then fell into a doze. How long she slept she never knew, for the awakening was awful. With a crash and a roar the coach left the rails and toppled over into the ditch. When the first shock was over, the groans and cries of the Injured filling the air, Sally, waiting only until she discovered that she was uninjured save for a few severe bruises, set bravely at work to give as sistance to the less fortunate. The uninjured passengers, assisted by the train crew, worked with a will and the wounded made as comfortable as possible on the green grass of the right-of-way. "Guess we've got 'em all out," said the conductor. But Sally, looking around the circle of faces and then- glancing at the wounded lying upon the grass, missed one face and form. "No, there's another Lem Mr. Huggins where is he?" "Who's he?" queried the conductor. "He was a passenger on the train," replied Sally, starting towards the wreck. ' They soon found him, Insensible and pinned down by a beam that cruelly pressed across his breast. It was Sally who wiped the blood from his face. It was Sally who held the cup of water to his lips, and it was Sally's face that met his gaze when he opened his eyes and groaned with pain. "What's the matter?" asked Lem in a feeble voice. "Only a wreck and you were hurt a little," said Sally. "Now remain quiet, Mr. Huggins. You mustn't talk." "Why?" "Because because well, because 1 say so. "All right," whispered Lem. sinking back into unconsciousness. A month later Postmaster Bilkins handed Lem a huge envelope bearing the postoffice department seal and stamp. "Guess we got 'em licked again," chuckled Bilkins. "Guess so," said Lem, but without much enthusiasm. "Ain't appearin t feel very gay about yer victory, Lem." i "Huh?" - v "I said yer don't seem t' me " But to the postmaster's wonderment Lem walked away and actuany crossed the street. .Postmaster Bilkins could hardly believe his eyes. Lem Hug gins, North Sider and prospective post master, actually crossing over to the South Side. Bilkins shuddered and crouched as if expecting the very heavens to fall. f He had not yet recovered from his amazement when Put Shattuck rushed op and shouted: "Heard th news?" "No; what is it?" "Lem Huggins is goin t' marry Sally Rickett." "No!" "Yes!" "I don't believe It." "Fac Jus' th same. Sally missed him when he got smashed up In that wreck, an' then drew out o' th" race so Lem could git th' postoffice." it's a mighty strange purceedln'," said Postmaster Bilkins. ' "No, it's puffeckly nateral. It's git tin' common these days." now s that?" "Why, it's only another o' them mergers we've been readin' so much about in the city papers lately." Will M. Maupin.

To Nebraska Populists During the past week I have mailed a personal letter to every precinct committeeman in the state (except those shown on our records as hav ing moved' out of the precinct) urging the following: 1. Good attendance at the primar ies, at the county conventions, and at the state convention. 2. The election of earnest, energetic populists as delegates to the countv conventions and to the state con vention; and that care be taken to se lect as delegates to the state conven tion men who will be sure to attend. The matter of reduced railroad rates to Grand Island has been taken up with the Western Passenger associa tion and although I have not yet re ceived final decision, I feel safe in say ing that the rate will at least be one and one-third for the round trip on the certificate plan; but it is possible we may secure an open rate of one fare for the round trip. Due notice will be given in all the papers as soon as the association advices me of Its action. In case of a certificate rate, delegates should take a receipt from the ticket agent for amount paid for ticket. Let me urge upon every precinct committeeman and party worker that victory awaits us in the coming cam paign If we will but show a desire to be victorious. It will not be a walk away, but will require an earnest ef fort all along the line. I am aware that this is a busy season, but a few hours spent at your primary will mean much in starting the campaign of! with Its best foot forward.

The general is a worthy, competent old soldier, one whom we would delight to honor, but our impression is that this is Robinson's year again D. J Poynter in Albion Argus. A little mixed in your geography, Bro. Poynter. General Barry lives in the Sixth district and "Robinson's year again" applies to the Third. Mr. S. P. Gibson, of Page, Neb., writes The Independent that "at Dor- sey, Star, Knoxville, Page, Scott and Hanesville, Neb., there are sixteen Appeal to Reason taken to one Ne braska Independent. Sixteen to one. If this is" any consolation, free and welcome to it." No particular reason why The" Independent should rejoice or be sad. The people in the locality Mr. Gibson mentions are either out and out socialists or tending that way; naturally, they would prefer a socialist paper. After they awake from their dreams they will be looking for a copy of The Independent. The Independent Is gratified to see how rapidly the Wahoo New Era's building fund is growing. Last week it had grown to $150, being 26 six year subscriptions at $5 each and two thirteen-year subscriptions at $10 each. In a private letter to the edi tor Mr. Johnson says he believes he will get into his new building before The Independent moves into Liberty Building. That Is probable. Saunders county people are the most generous givers in the state, and they are al ways ready .to help any worthy move ment. Of course, in this instance they are getting value received for every dollar. THE VROOMAN PLAN Mr. Gibson Discusses Co-Operation and Kindred Subjects Editor Independent: Vrooman Brotherhood farm at Kansas City is not a socialist company like at Ruskin. It is called the Western Co-operative Association. To start with, the bro therhood put $8,000,000 of their own money in if. They have offers of mil lions they cannot yet use. They hare now running 160 department stores in the United States. They get 5 per cent for their money and all who in vest get 5 per cent. Cost $10 to be come a member on which 5 per cent Is also paid; there is no other profit to capital. The laborers for the farma and factories are hired and get com mon wages and the brotherhood so far own all lands etc. Labor has no vote. They own several big farms. The in dustrial college at Trenton has run 3 years (1,600 acres). Cost $125 for tuition and board three years. Re handling the capital five times a year, the purchasing member, who are the $10 memberBcand tne laborers em ployed by them, pay in reality only 1 per cent profit on the goods bought. Buying for 160 stores (before they can manufacture the goods) they can buy 50 per cent cheaper than a small mer chant can. - No merchant can live 30 days In the town where they start. They will be in Lincoln shortly. The $10 purchasing member gets all the profit. But they can and do mostly reinvest it; members consent In or der to extend and develop the business. Will farm, manufacture and transport (railroads, etc.) steamboats, mine, lumber, saw mills. The students so far trained in their own way. They use themselves in their business. Fact they haven't near enough of them for managers. They have to learn on the farms and In machine shops, etc. Where they start they first secure the people as $10 members. All the old merchants are asked to join and stock is paid for at the price the Vrooman brotherhood can buy for, tor get froze out. Laborers and others have to buy the lots and houses in which they live (indirectly no profit in house and material). They calculate to take in all the common people, do banking; but use the money in their business; pay 5 per cent, don't take faster than they can use. It is an Improvement on the Rochdale. Will go on the plains and start work on big irrigation farms in a year. What is monopoly? There is many kinds of monopoly, but the most im portant Is the market; and more Im portant is monopoly in land in the rain belt. There are In the United States 16,000,000 men over 20 years landless; could not use land without paying rent, though God created earth for all. All the people in the United States can be fed good, and cotton raised, from a patch of land the size of Nebraska and Kansas, irrigated; so there must be land monopoly and land held out of good use. Half the people have not all they can eat and thousands starve to death. In ancient Peru land was reallotted every year. They irrigated, but with the rudest machines, were able to raise food for seven years ahead. With all our fine machines and our civilization where are we at compared to them? Only one in a hundred in the United States is tame enough to suicide or starve to death; the others will eventually vote for a redivlsion of the land, and prob ably will rather fight for life than starve to death; then land will havo no price. Land used for 10 or 20 years Is not as good as when bought for $18 for a 160 homestead, and is not, therefore, intrinsically worth as much except the house and barn on one acre. God knows, a dirty cattle yard is not an Improvement on the nice green vir gin prairie. The work of breaking the land for which the irrigated crop pays from year to year, does not add to the value of land. But the irriga tion plant is a valuable permanent Im provement; to some extent also is the grove planted on 10 acres. Roosevelt said that the man who owned the irrigation water owned the land, or rather, what was raised on the land. On the big sub-arid plains every Tom, Dick and Harry will soon gobble up and monopolize the land out of use. But if I or any one else comes along with a big windmill and pump, which represents labor, and pump 24 inches of water on 160 acres n a year, then on this theory I would own all of the crop between an irri gated and not Irrigated crop. For nstance. if the farmer raises 5 bushels of corn to the acre without irrigation. but I. owning the mill, raise 50 bush els, then by right I own the 45 bush els. My mill represented work; his gobling the land for quarter fee rep resented monopoly only. Just think of this, will you? The farmer prob ably couldn't or wouldn't buy the $1,000 mill, so there labor and monop oly would be at loggerhead. What Is the free competition, so much praised, and the survival of the fittest theory carried to its logical point? The weeds survive and the crops perish. The lion would sur vive and the other animals perish. The mountain robber would survive while the industrious miner would perish. n the industrial world, the 4.000 be sotted millionaires would survive; all the others would perish. The big fer tile plains of Babylon and the burled pyramids and hundreds other places bear witness to this; 25,000,000 have starved to death in India. What Is our little planet among 5(L- 000,000 planets? What Is man on our planet? There certainly ought to be room without rent. Nothing 13 set tled until it is settled right. There Is no party that proposes to do for the 16,000,000 landless and dependants what the socialist party will do. With the .16,000,000, etc., it is not a question of common ownership of property for they have none. But with them It is a questin of right to work on mother earth and natural resources, without rent; common ownership of machines and the right to all thejr produce, no rent, interest or profit to be filched. Co-operation in producing would Kive best results. Government socialism will do that. Don't be afraid that any thing man can do will destroy the planet; be plenty time and room to experiment on something better, if better there is. The 16,000,000 and de dependents have nothing to lose but their chains; and then, as now, will certainly live as good. S. P. GIBSON. Page, Neb.
